Exploring the NL's Top Pitchers in the National League Race

We have an eight-game slate tonight in the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/mlb">MLB</a>, so let&#8217;s dive into the action set for tonight to pump out some winners.
Kicking off the night, we have an interesting NL series ahead of us as the league-leading Philadelphia Phillies will welcome in the NL Central-leading Milwaukee Brewers. Milwaukee has impressed immensely thus far this season. Still, first tonight, the Philadelphia crowd will welcome back<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/mlb/players/rhys-hoskins/58092"> Rhys Hoskins</a> to Citizens Bank Park after his long tenure donning the Phillies&#8217; pinstripes. Hoskins is just getting back from a stint on the IL, so check out our<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/mlb/player-props"> betting model</a> to see if there is any value in his props tonight.
Additionally, the New York Mets and Washington Nationals will meet in an NL East battle, while the Baltimore Orioles will be on the road to face the Toronto Blue Jays. We have you covered with a <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/mlb/article/mlb-sgp-1000-baltimore-orioles-toronto-blue-jays">+1000 ultimate same-game parlay</a>.
